Sarson ka Saag

Back in my college days, I had met a group of friends for lunch at the Dhaba on Radhakrishna Salai rd. One of my friends ordered the sarson ka saag, which I was clueless about at that time. All that changed after I had a bite of this delicious green and ever since it has always been a favorite on my plate. We prepare it similar to preparing the palak dishes.

Finely chopped palak (spinach leaves) 1 cup
